    How to remove apps which cannot be removed using Remove-AppxPackage


    Hi, can someone say if there is any way to delete:
    1 Microsoft.BioEnrollment
    2 Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin
    3 Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost
    4 windows.immersivecontrolpanel
    5 Microsoft.LockApp
    6 Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge
    7 Microsoft.PPIProjection
    8 Microsoft.Windows.Apprep.ChxApp
    9 Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager
    10 Microsoft.Windows.ParentalControls
    11 Microsoft.Windows.SecondaryTileExperience
    12 Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI
    13 Windows.ContactSupport
    14 Windows.MiracastView
    15 Windows.PrintDialog
    16 Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost
    17 Microsoft.AccountsControl

    I've tried also manually and also the following 3 scripts, but still no result.

    remove-default-apps
    https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-W...fault-apps.ps1

    RemoveWindowsStoreApp.ps1
    https://github.com/dwj7738/My-Powers...wsStoreApp.ps1

    reclaimWindows10.ps1
    This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults)

    Even one of the scripts says:

    # apps which cannot be removed using Remove-AppxPackage
    #"Microsoft.BioEnrollment"
    #"Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge"
    #"Microsoft.Windows.Cortana"
    #"Microsoft.WindowsFeedback"
    #"Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI"
    #"Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider"
    #"Windows.ContactSupport"

    Also tried to untag them, still no result.

    Sincerely.

    :)

  2. How to uninstall Windows 10 apps ?

    According to CBGrant (above), "Certain apps in Windows 10 are not uninstall-able because they are considered important to the experience of Windows 10 and to the operating system." However, at the risk of spoiling my experience, I successfully used Sqrly's
    method to remove a few apps such as king.com.CandyCrushSodaSaga_1.110.600.0_x86__kgqvnymyfvs32. Unfortunately, it didn't work for the Office apps, which are the ones that are wasting the most space. For example:

    remove-appxpackage -allusers -package Microsoft.Office.Desktop_16010.9126.2116.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe

    remove-appxpackage : The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)

    At line:1 char:1

    + remove-appxpackage -allusers -package Microsoft.Office.Desktop_16010. ...

    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  3. Apps removed via Powershell Scripts reinstall themselves

    I am very frustrated with Microsoft.

    I don't like half the apps preinstalled on 10.

    The only apps I use are

    XBOX

    One note

    One drive

    Minecraft

    The others can go to the Recycle Bin including the spying apps and defender.

    I have AVG.

    Even If I use the scripts

    Get-AppxPackage *3dbuilder* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *windowsalarms* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *windowscommunicationsapps* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *windowscamera* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *officehub* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *skypeapp* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *getstarted* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *zunemusic* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *windowsmaps* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *solitairecollection* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *bingfinance* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *zunevideo* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *bingnews* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *onenote* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *people* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *windowsphone* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *photos* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *bingsports* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *soundrecorder* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Get-AppxPackage *bingweather* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Some still reinstall themselves.

    Thank you for the encouragement to receive advices also from others.

    The same question it has been posted on more forums. I would be very thankful if you could tell me please if this is not fair, or against any forums/web rules, or it will bother someone, or it will create any other bad thoughts.

    Regards.
